* Provide backwards compatibility extension to name resolution of
coalesced columns. The patch allows such columns to be qualified
with a table (and db) name, as it is in 4.1.
Based on a patch from Monty.
* Adjusted tests accordingly to test both backwards compatible name
resolution of qualified columns, and ANSI-style resolution of
non-qualified columns.
For this, each affected test has two versions - one with qualified
columns, and one without.
"Process NATURAL and USING joins according to SQL:2003".
* Some of the main problems fixed by the patch:
- in "select *" queries the * expanded correctly according to
ANSI for arbitrary natural/using joins
- natural/using joins are correctly transformed into JOIN ... ON
for any number/nesting of the joins.
- column references are correctly resolved against natural joins
of any nesting and combined with arbitrary other joins.
* This patch also contains a fix for name resolution of items
inside the ON condition of JOIN ... ON - in this case items must
be resolved only against the JOIN operands. To support such
'local' name resolution, the patch introduces a stack of
name resolution contexts used at parse time.
NOTICE:
- This patch is not complete in the sense that
- there are 2 test cases that still do not pass -
one in join.test, one in select.test. Both are marked
with a comment "TODO: WL#2486".
- it does not include a new test specific for the task
error for LIMIT placeholder".
The patch adds grammar support for LIMIT ?, ? and changes the
type of ST_SELECT_LEX::select_limit,offset_limit from ha_rows to Item*,
so that it can point to Item_param.
- Add function Item_param::fix_fields which will update any subselect they are part of and indicate that the subsleect is not const during prepare phase, and thus should not be executed during prepare.
